Week 34 - Can be read by all

[scurveydog]

Goodness! I've rarely seen the Mistress in such a state! Granted it's in large part due to the massive hangover but she's been mumbling under her breath for days now and sending kicks this poor Meep's way. Whatever you've done I wish you wouldn't. She becomes rather unbearable after a while. At any rate, she wanted me to tell you two things.

[though written through the journal is the faint rustle of paper]

If you haven't received your Typhoon Grips by now, you're out of luck and you'll have to buy them you-- Oh dear, ah-- you-- I can't even think of an appropriate word here. Well, best leave it to your imaginations. Cloud Islands have been released and will be floating in various directions. Instructions on how to use the Grip have come packaged with the instrument. She also wishes to note it's only one per crew, even if you should have multiple ships, and if you should lose it, replacements can come from Backwater at considerable cost.

The second item-- Oh, dear. It seems a little inflammatory. You know there is an old saying, pertaining when wars were fought on land-- there were no kinds of long distance communication and so in order to relay orders from one army to the other, messengers would be dispatched. Whether they carried good news or bad news, the best strategy was often considered not shooting the messenger whatever the news since he is but a humble porter and has no part in these...sorts of situations.

She says that she is lifting the ban on the Spades for the most part just to rub it in the face of those belonging to that-- to that-- Well suffice to say it's a pretty heavy derogatory term addressed to the captain of the Sinewave. Furthermore anyone caught helping that-- insert word here-- will be banned as well. She knows what you do, she says, she's not stupid.

Dear me, dear me. Er well this is a bit unprecedented and I am rather busy with my studies and suchlike, but I will be around for at least a short while to answer any questions you might have... well a few at any rate. I can't have her finding me doing this or...well...suffice to say it won't be particularly...pleasant.

Quite common! In fact it's rare if half the ships make it back to Port Chance at all, let alone the same condition they started out in. Many brave souls are lost to the seas but that is how it is and what's more it makes for quite an exciting event!

[maskedtyrant]

...Well!

...

...Yeah, sounds like fun! My crew will be more than pleased to know that we're participating in something so prestigious. I'm sure we'll be fine. Let Dog know that we'll give her a fun time, alright?

[scurveydog]

...I don't actually think I want to do that. At least not until she has calmed considerably. I am just a poor Meep after all. But if you wish you may tell her yourself via a letter through Miss Margaret.

[maskedtyrant]

Miss Margie, huh? I might do that. Unless that...hmm.

[...now there's a thought. If anyone consorts with her, huh?...]

...Well, I doubt Dog will want to get a letter from me, in her state. But maybe I can talk to someone on the Bloody Roses and get them to send it for me! Grell's already done so much for my crew on Phantasia.

[Voice]

[redcinemareel]

[Excuse her?!

OH, she’s had quite enough of this brat.]

The Bloody Roses do many terrible things, but we NEVER put blame on someone else, let alone allow someone else to take or share credit for our actions! We own them, and no one else shall take what we earned.

It’s about time YOU did the same, you bottom-feeding little shit!

[Grell hardly ever curses, surprisingly, so she’s quite angry!]

Not only would we never would wish for actual valuable information to be restricted to any crew, but if we did get banned, we wouldn’t spread that to another crew in immature spite!

So let me make a statement:

The Bloody Roses has not ever assisted such lowlifes who are far beneath our standards, and we now DECLARE WAR on the crew of the Sinewave, effective immediately!

[Voice]

[maskedtyrant]

My--such malice!

[Code for, "oh shit, we're on the same island as this lunatic, maybe this wasn't such a great idea."]

[Not that she's letting any of that slip. Codi's voice never wavers--for better or for worse.]

I give you credit for helping people and you declare war on them? I've never heard of such audacity!

Besides, my crew doesn't engage in warfare--that's a practice of pirates and brutes, of which we're neither. You'll have to find your pointless bloodshed elsewhere.

[Voice]

[redcinemareel]

We don't need you to give us anything, especially for something we didn't give!

Your crew only engages in capturing fairies for Fates knows what! At least our enemies fight back! No wonder you don't engage in battles! Spineless twits!

Re: [Voice]

[alwaysgrumpy]

WHOA! WHOA!

Everybody calm the fuck down! What's goin' on in here?

[Voice]

[redcinemareel]

That spineless brat is trying to get us roped into her mess! It's UNACCEPTABLE and I've had enough of her childish games!

[Voice]

[om_nom_namur]

Dude y' need t' tell yer idiot captain t' stop actin' like a dipshit an' run!

[THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO STAY BETWEEN HIM AND CODI HOW DID IT TURN TO WAR??? T.T]

Re: [Voice]

[crankyshark]

[Thash wasn't really paying attention to all this nonsense until the word 'war' was mentioned. That got his attention]

Well, I did say I'd help defend the ship, heheh.

[grabs his weapon]

lets do this!

[Voice]

[redcinemareel]

Good! Meet us one deck!

[Voice]

[hoodwinking]

[Are her ears burning?]

And I thought I was going to be bored this month. You've got my basket, Captain!

[Voice]

[redcinemareel]

Oh~? What's in it?

[She's curious!]

Voice;

[Marco can't help it, he's laughing.]

[This is why he loves you okay.]

[voice and also...swearing]

[myfayevalentine]

You bitch! I knew you were a sneaky little cow but this? Take your dirty lying bitch mouth somewhere else and leave us the fuck alone.

[background noise]

[redcinemareel]

[Grell is CACKLING because Faye has the best swearing!]

[background noise pt. 2]

[not important / voice]

[donthithimintheballs]

[a barked laugh at this!]

Thata girl!

[He's god damn amused, okay. Amused with Grell as well Good going ladies.]

[voice]

[maskedtyrant]

Sorry? Didn't catch that through your rambling swears. Maybe the rats of the street will understand your message better.

Besides--poor Meep is listening. You'll make him sad!

[not here]

[theartofboom]

[...wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow...Chandra feels somewhat shamed that her swearing isn't that good. These people almost make her feel sane. What the hell!]

Re: [voice and also...swearing]

[alwaysgrumpy]

Faye? Faye! What's going on, I just got involved in all this.

[Voice]

[english_dignity]

The only thing I recall us doing for your crew on that island was cursing one of your members.

[There's a good edge to his voice too. Basically, pissy gentleman.]

We certainly didn't help you!

[Voice]

[maskedtyrant]

So that was you? I can't believe it! You made my scientist miserable! The poor man has enough self-confidence issues as it is...despicable.
